Adya and Ashley complete a work separately in 20 and 25 days respectively. After 10 days of their working together, they both left then Amber came and completed the remaining work in 3 days. If Amber alone would do the work, calculate how many days he would take to complete the work.?​

\huge\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\textsf{\textbf{Answer}}}}}

Number of days Adya took to complete the work = 20

Work done by Adya in 1 day =
(1)/(20)

Number of days Ashley took to complete the work = 25

Work done by Ashley in 1 day =
(1)/(25)

So,

Total work by Adya & Ashley in 1 day =


(1)/(20) + (1)/(20) \\ = (5 + 4)/(100) \\ = (9)/(100)

•°• Their total work in 10 days =


(9 * 10)/(100) \\ = (90)/(100) \\ = (9)/(10)

Now,

The work left to be completed =


1 - (9)/(10) \\ = (10)/(10) - (9)/(10) \\ = (1)/(10)

From this we know that,

Amber completes
(1)/(10) of the work in 3 days.

So,

Time taken by Amber to complete the whole work =


3 * 10 \\ = 30 \: \: days

↦ If Amber alone would do the whole work, he would take
\boxed{30 \ \ days} to complete it.
